    Hey MikeZ, where did you guys get to on the way home?

    One minute there was a grey Zed behind us, then no one, then you were behind us???

    I can't even begin to describe

    how pissed off I am that my cruise came to an end 15 minutes after meeting up with GC crew at Coomera.

    Ironically the alternator shit itself actually within sight of Proline Automotive in Yatala where we had the Tech Day/BBQ last month. So that's where the car is now. I'll post more details after the post mortem.

    I'm am glad however that everyone had such a good day organised by Brenton with the possible exception of Russell who lost his pod (is that like spitting the dummy??)

    Catch you next time guys.

    Thank you all for coming.

    Mark I thought your little nuts would love being at the back!

    We also forgot to hook up that boost gauge to see how mush boost I am running. We should do it one weekend, also do my connectors... and yours too by the sound of things.

    You can expect a text writeup tonight when i get home, you wouldnt believe this, but I got home after lapping the city, and cleaned up my car, then did the cruise again on my own, and much faster :)

    So much for 'not needing too much mroe fuel.'

    GREAT DAY OF CRUIZIN

    Lots of windy roads and i think we all had our own bit of sideways action.

    Well i did anyways.

    And i know for a fact i heard more than just myself breaking traction also.

    I again didn't make it home without police intervention however.

    I was pulled up for an RBT on the way home and then I was followed back to a mates place from a local tavern by a D-Car.

    Back to the Cruize. Brenton and Rob Thanks again for organising a lovely day out. Lunch was great.

    Cept for the fly in my mates Iced coffee. Twit drank it anyway.


    BTW: Brenton, I don't know how the heck i managed it but when we were cruizing through the city on the way i home i was in the mood to keep cruizing i got lost at the lights, next thing i know i was back on motorway heading home.

    Blasted Brissy City confuses and frustrates the crap outta me.

    Thanks MikeZ for letting me play up on the camera. All in good fun.

    Can't wait til the next one.

    Cheers FATE

    We were stuck behind the bikie from hell

    who insisted on taking up all of the road from about Jolly's Lookout to The Gap. I managed to overtake him eventually even though he went wide and sped up on me!! Then he took pleasure in holding up the rest of the convoy.

    We had a brief stop at the servo in The Gap before splitting up.

    Prior to this we were swapping positions on the road so that people could take turns to get filmed on my bumper cam.

    Didn't get to catch up with you yesterday. Next cruiZe ok!

    You guys might have split up,

    but we did REALLY FAST city laps, until like 5.30.

    Ive never done a skid outside city hall before. :)

    Thats for the parking fine boys :D

    Re: We were stuck behind the bikie from hell

    I reckon,

    Did you see the chick on the back of the bike give us the "truckie horn pull". Skanky hoe!!

    Sorry, but making zeds do 40ks on windy roads that command three times that speed
    :thumbsdown:
    Least I got to swallow up that bumper cam Mike beforehand.

    PS Disclaimer - Skanky Hoe is meant in the nicest possibe way

    Great pics Richo

    But if your Dad (K-Zed) was organising the photo shoot then how come all of the red zeds are at the rear of the group photo?

    Come to think of it, he probably said "group photo" and all the red zed owners ran to their cars to get the best spot only to be pushed to the rear. Their tail gates are shut too...that's a whole lot of hot air being contained.

    Great piccies. Pity I missed the photo shoot but I was all set up down the road. I also had to claim the "cleanest Zed" award at the lunch stop!
    :zlove::thumbsup:

    So ends my collection. I would have gotten more thorough with everyone's cars but I've got a shocking memory.

    Thanks again for organising a great day Brent0n and I didn't mind being the Charcoal Pearl Kaboose - at least for the bit that I knew. The Gap was a different story for me!

    Cheers Everyone,
    Shaun (Grenfel). :cool:

    BUMPER CAM

    Here's some footage from my rear bumper. Now I know why I only have one muffler...so I can mount a camera on the other side.

    There are 2 versions of the video:
    240x320px 8.7 MB

    480x640px 16.7 MB

    Hints for next time:
    Put a sunshade on the camera
    Put a wind shelter on the microphone (notice the strategically placed sound track to hide the wind noise)
